The influence of temperature on the structural and mechanical properties (0.9 C - 13.95 Mn) steel was investigated in this work. high-manganese has underwent aging treatments at temperatures 700, 750, 800 850 °C for different times. experimental techniques used are hardness test, scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy X-ray diffraction. behavior microstructural evolution during almost...

PURPOSE To evaluate the depth of cure and surface hardness of two resin composites when subjected to three preheating temperatures, three polymerization times and two types of curing lights. METHODS Two resin composites were used in this study (Esthet-X and TPH), three polymerization times (10, 20, 40 seconds), three preheating temperatures (70, 100, 140 degrees F/21.1, 37.7 and 60 degrees C)...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface hardness of six composite resins: Revolution, Natural Flow, Fill Magic Flow, Flow-it! (flowables), Silux Plus (microfilled) and Z100 (minifilled) before and after polishing at different times. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this purpose, 240 specimens (5mm diameter, 1.4mm high) were prepared. Vickers hardness was determined before and after...

INTRODUCTION We aimed to compare apical canal transportation of extracted teeth and two types of simulated resin blocks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mesiobuccal root of extracted maxillary molars, high hardness simulated resin blocks (Knoop hardness=40) and low hardness simulated resin blocks (Knoop hardness=22) were prepared with K-files using step-back technique (n=15 canals in each group). Doubl...
